Uploading multiple tracks

First steps

To upload multiple tracks without creating a playlist, go to the Upload page. You can get to the Upload page at any time by going to the Upload button on your top navigation bar.

You can either click ‘Choose file to upload’ and select all tracks that you want to upload, or drag and drop multiple files into the screen. Please make sure to uncheck the box that says ‘Make a playlist when multiple files are selected’.

Please note: If you are a Free or Pro user, you will see how many minutes you have remaining on your account on the bottom of the Upload page. If you upload files that take you over these remaining minutes, tracks will be hidden on your account to make room.

Transcoding

Your files will immediately start uploading, and we will transcode them to be streamable on SoundCloud. We transcode all tracks to 128 kbps mp3 for streaming playback.

If you want your fans to be able to have your original file versions enable downloads for your tracks. All downloads are of the original file, not the 128 kbps mp3 streaming version.

Add or change track information

While your tracks are uploading, you can add any information that you wish to each track individually as they upload.

Most SoundCloud users find music channels through search results and Explore, so optimizing your tracks for discovery is key.

Ensure your tracks are well indexed and easily discoverable throughout the platform by optimizing your metadata using strong titles, descriptions, and tags.
